Pro-vitamin B5
Panthenol
A humectant + barrier-comfort molecule that makes formulas cushioning.
What it is
Panthenol is the alcohol analog of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5). It functions as a humectant and barrier-comfort molecule — the ingredient that makes cosmetic formulas feel cushioning rather than astringent. Especially useful in the hydration-forward Deep Hydration Recovery Mask™ where comfort is the point.
